	This Was always likely to be a win for Jethro Tull, but I'll need to give the Strawbs album a listen in a couple of months time before I cast my vote.

	Tull.

	Whoops, I forgot that I've heard This Was (tho only once) and hit the "haven't heard..." albums button. OK album for a single listen, but not near as good as other Jethro Tull. I like the Strawbs but haven't heard this particular album.
